Verizon Media Event Scheduled for January 11th: iPhone Announcement?

So, earlier they were saying February, and now it's January. This is reminding me of Skinner's delusions about Remy in 'Ratatouille':
Skinner: O-ho, I see the theatricality of it! A rat appears on the boy's first night, I order him to kill it, and now he wants me to see it everywhere! Ooooh! It's here! No it isn't it's here! Am I seeing things, am I crazy, is there a phantom rat or is there not, but oh, no! I refuse to be sucked into his little game... of...

Or like LTE pricing plans lol.
But as many Mac centric tech sites have been invited, its almost assuredly the vPhone
All I have to say is that this forum and its members will be in for an epic treat when they find out that there is no Verizon iPhone.
And that invitation looks horribly compressed...

They didn't!

Come on dude! Did you REALLY think the "White" Phone was having "Color Matching Issues"?
The same plant will be producing the CDMA phones!
They will be Black, and look exactly like what you saw pulled from the Web yesterday. They have been in warehouses for 2-weeks.
Look for the 4s in GSM May/June.
The image compression doesn't matter whatsoever considering who created the invitation. Keep in mind that this is "We can't Photoshop" Verizon and that just about every single rumor has been pointing to it.
It might be spotty now but it'll improve soon and what then? You are stuck with iPhone for at least 18 months.
Ahhh... they have to live where there is a 4G network for one. Not here where I am.
LTE is very limited right now - as much as Sprint's 4G. A majority of people who would probably buy the iPhone on Verizon probably wouldn't even care because of the basic allure of finally getting the iPhone and that they would have the same experience as AT&T customers (albeit with better coverage).
Now, will this be the Verizon iPhone? Maybe, because Gizmodo wasn't invited, but maybe not.
Verizon iPhone > All Other Announcements
They didnt want to kill all of the other important announcements.
Well then to use your argument, why was the ORIGINAL iPhone only for EDGE? 3G coverage at the time of the original iPhone was FAR more widespread than LTE is (even for what is projected for 2011). Also, LTE requires a lot more power that I don't think Apple is willing to sacrifice battery life for.

You apparently didn't follow the thread correctly. You and I are in agreement. Re-read my post and what I was commenting on.

wow. this is insane. I've heard rumors for release in february, in 4 months, in 6 months, 2012, and June 2012. Now I'm hearing, next week??? I can just picture it. This is going to be like when Apple made a big deal of releasing the Beatles on iTunes. Everybody's going to be so pissed 'cause they were fooled again. You know what I think? I think Verizon is taking advantage of this stir-up of information. Their "big" announcement will draw many eyes and ears, more than if there were no iPhone rumors. And thus whatever they release will get more publicity. They are taking advantage of your gullibility!!!
But I guess we can only hope......cross your fingers for a Verizon iphone everyone!!

I have to agree with you as it isn't like Apple to follow the proverbial lemmings into the battery hog and effectively useless fire that is 4G at least not yet.
Grain of Salt
Hard to say that this is what the rumor alleges, especially since Verizon has been busy rolling out their faster network. Could likely be a 4G LTE announcement.
Then again, might see the following:
1. iPhone V that doesn't support the 4G network
2. iPhone V that DOES support the 4G network
3. No iPhone on Verizon but some big network news.
